Example/Format for the biography, analysis and opinion

Instructions for 3/27/15

Hi! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today we're getting started with our art project. You are to pick a piece of art, specifically a painting or drawing (if you want to do a sculpture, run it by me, I would be willing to explore that option) that you will replicate, OR that you will report on. If you're the "reporter" then you need to team up with someone in the class because the reporting needs to go along with a piece of art that's being replicated--here's the vision: Amy does a 3ftx3ft replica of "Dos Sapos" by Francisco Toledo and Caleb does a biography of Toledo, what others have said about the art piece, and what he thinks on a nice piece of paper. Amy posts her art on the wall, Caleb posts his report underneath it, then a few days later we have cookies and punch dressed up in nice clothes to admire the work:) Please do the following steps to get credit for today:

1. Go to this Google Doc if you need ideas for artists. Copy their name and then paste it into a search like "Art by Francisco Toledo".

2. Once you've found the art piece you want to do, put the necessary information into the Google Spreadsheet following my example. I have labeled the link "Google Spreadsheet to Enter Information" and it's right below this text:

Google Spreadsheet to Enter Information

3. When you have done this start planning out your art piece or researching the artist and piece of art. The more you get done today, the less you have to do next week and over Spring Break!
